Bart Simpson comics are a short stories type comic book series centered on Simpsons star Bart Simpson. The first issue was first published in the United States in 2000 by Bongo Comics. The Australian version was published in 2002 by Otter Press, and the UK version was published by Titan Magazines. Comics were released to comic book stores first and to newsstands three weeks later.

The final issue, #100, was released in March 2016. It is a 48-page double-sized issue that features a story presented in six chapters. In "The Bongo Beat" page of that issue, Creative Director Nathan Kane stated "rest assured that the boy with nine spikes isn't going anywhere. New and exciting adventures await your favorite ten-year-old troublemaker."
